in how many ways can the letters of the word VICTORY be arranged so that consonants appear only in the even place?
Read Solution (Total 2)
-
- There are 5 consonants (V,C,T,R,Y) & 2vowels (I,O) and 3 even places in which
2nd place v,c,t,r,y can arrange among themselves in 5! ways=120
4th place =4!=24 ways
6thplace=3!=6 ways
now vowels can arrange themselves in two ways for remaining places ,
now adding all i.e, 2+120+2+24+2+6+2= 158 ways

- There are 5 consonants (V,C,T,R,Y) & 2vowels (I,O) and 3 even places and 4 odd place.
even places are 2nd, 4th, and 6th
so at 2nd place we can arrange 5C1 AND
FOR 4th place 4C1
and for 6th place 3C1
so total 5C1*4C1*3C1=60
and at this place 3 latter can arrange them self in 3! ways
so total =60 *3!=3600 ways - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(2)
